Steel Association shows TIE most crafty
ing progress in iron production and de-
mand during the past year. In 1885
the production was +,529,869 net

In 1886 the yield increased
over 40 per cent, the product being
6,3GG. 68S net tons, or 5.6S4,543 gross
tons. The record Of sales is even more
gratifying, as production without demand
is dismal product.

DOMESTIC GRAIN AND FLOUR MARKETS.
The price of wheat has been quite ir-
regular during the week, recovering some
what on Thursday after responding to
the hammering it received at the
west in preceding days. The
declining cables from Beerbohm re-
ceived early in the week, together
with the speculative selling at Chicago,
comprise the leading bear influences in
addition to the disinclination of the
United Kingdom to stock up to the ex-
tent customary several years ago. On
the other hand the very much decreased
receipts Of wheat at western primary
markets, the decline of little less than
half million bushels in the visible sup
ply, the heavy exports Of wheat
thus far during the cereal year,
with the prospects fsvoring continuance
of liberal exports, are bull arguments.
The one weak spot is found in the heavy
visible supply, which thus late in the sea
son has failed to fall very materially be-
low the maximum of the crop year.
Whether this points to unusually low
stocks of invisible wheat or not, the for
eigner evidently contir ues to prefer buy
ing for nearby wants only, for United
Kingdom stocks continue to decrease.
Later in the week the export demand be-
came fairly active, and later cables were
more favorable - Bradstreet's.

ChiCago's Pine Line.

Chicago has for some time been strug,
Cling hard to keep up appearances of
progress, We noted some time ago the
acknowledgment of one of its most trust
worthy newspapers that "for rent signs
were to be seen on every hand, with the
further confession that capital seeking
investment in real estate was giving the
lake city the go.by and being placed fur.
ther west. We haye also noted that in
order to give Chicago chance to make q
showing in the next census of large
increase of population the legislature
had passed an act under which the ab.
sorption of outlying towns will be rend-
cred comparatively easy. Efforts are
now making to induce these towns to
come in. There Is still another ray of
hope for Chicago. She may get a
supply of natural gas. 1t will not be
very large supply, but as an addition to
the other agencies for helping
to restore animation to the over
grown city It is not to be
despised. The gas well developed some
time ago at Paramount, Ind. and which is
one of the largest Of the great wells in
the country, will be the source of supply,
the capital for the enterprise being fur
nished by a company OF Buffalo capital
lists. 1t will not be very great acquisi-
ton, this gas from q single we'll piped
many miles, nor will it be very relia-
bic one, but Chicago has reached
the point when anything, however small.
that may contribute to a boom, is well
come. We congratulate that city on the
promise. Omaha is moving right along
without the need of any such auxiliary
aids TO her progress, with great destiny
assured, and can we'll afford to encourage
the hopes and aspirations of its less
favored sister city.

The Pacific RAILWAY lovest,cat,on.

The commission created by an act OF
congress with a view OF obtaining full
Information about the financial condition
of the bond subsidized Pacific railroads,
and their methods of doing business, Is
now in session in this city. When
this commission was appointed grave
doubts were entertained as to its ability
to add anything OF vital moment to the
volume of information that had already
been collected from time to time by con-
gressional committees, the national rail-
road bureau and the federal courts.
While the Credit Mobiler investiga-
ton and later inquiries into the
mysteries of Pacific railroad manage.
ment were exhaustive in certain direc-
tions, no commission, committee or
court, up to this time, has shown dis
position to carry its searching inquiry
into Union Pacific headquarters. Sena
tor Cullom's interstate co mmittee,
which made pretense of investigat ing
into railway Determinations IN this city
last summer was content to allow Traffic
Manager Kimball, the most unscrupu-
lous compiler of fictitious railroad sta
tistics, answer its inquiries with care.
fully prepared and ingeniously worded
typewriter statement which was en-
bodied in Its report rs Mr.. Kimball's
testimony, This so-called testimony
which was fatty contradicted by the
company way bills and indisputable
proof obtainable through patrons who
had either been favored or Disseminated
against, was accepted by Mr.. Cullom as
gospel truth.
The Pacific railway commission ap.
pears to be made up of different material.
The manner IN which its members are
conducting their inquiry affords crafty
ing proof that for once there is to be no
sham investigation. The tactics by
which the managers of the Union Pacific
have been able to smother and
cover the tracks of the rogues
who have Systematically plundered the
stock holders, robbed and impoverished
patrons and localities, enriched their 81
lent partners and dominated over the
people by high-handed favoritism and
corrupt political Vaccinations, have
utterly failed with this commission. The
two days. session in Omaha shows that

The disclosures which have already
been made, afford tho most conclusive
proof that the managers have utterly is.
nored the state law, which for
bids rebates and determinations for
or against shippers. 1t shows that the
road has been operated for the benefit Of
inside rings and syndicates in which the
officers and directors have held large
blocks OF stock. And yet these facts have
only been drawn out by compulsion,
while the most stupendous frauds upon
the company and government are still to
| be revealed

Viewed from n business standpoint the
appointment of sergeant-at-arms by
the council is unobiectionable. There
is no necessity for detailing the chief of
police and an officer from their regular
duties to wait upon the council. Every
member of the small force at the dis
posal of the chief of police should be on
his proper beat and the chief himself
should be in condition at all times to
respond to calls or act promptly in emer
gencies which are liable to arise any
night.
We take it, however, that the new de.
parture was not designed rs an economic
move, but intended as a snub to the chief
of police. This is play and will serve no
good purpose. The chief is accountable
only to the police commission He has
no duty to perform in the council cham
ber unless called on to make an arrest,
and IN that case he can order any police
officer to act. If the council really be-
lieves that Seavey is not chief of police,
but merely personating that officer with
